Chapter 18 After, he covered it up

Xiao Chengjin hurried back to the Xiao family. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard someone calling him. Looking up, he saw his sister, Xiao Xiulan.

Xiao Xiulan looked Xiao Chengjin up and down and asked, "Where have you been? You didn't come back for dinner! What are you holding in your hand?"

Without waiting for an answer, Xiao Xiulan walked up to Xiao Chengjin and took the oil-paper package from his hand. Opening it, she revealed the brightly colored and sweet-smelling persimmon cakes inside.

The aroma made even the recently satiated Xiao Xiulan couldn't help but salivate. "Where did you get such good persimmon cakes?"

Not even the town's supply and marketing cooperative, let alone the department store in the county, would necessarily have persimmon cakes of such good quality.

Xiao Chengjin, who had just come to his senses, didn't answer Xiao Xiulan's question. He snatched the oil-paper package back and said, "I haven't finished eating yet!"

Before Xiao Xiulan could react, he ran into the house and closed the door.

Seeing the closed door, Xiao Xiulan's eyes widened in disbelief. "Xiao Chengjin, you have something delicious and you won't share it with me!"

She was about to knock on Xiao Chengjin's door when he suddenly opened it and poked his head out. "By the way, are you happy about starting as a temporary worker at the textile factory in a few days?"

Xiao Xiulan felt her brain couldn't keep up with the sudden change of topic. "What temporary worker? Where did that come from?"

Their parents worked at the food factory in the county, but the factory wasn't hiring. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't. How could Xiao Chengjin suddenly say she could work as a temporary worker?

Seeing Xiao Xiulan's furrowed brows, Xiao Chengjin explained the situation in a few words.

After listening, Xiao Xiulan frowned even more. "How can I take advantage of such a big benefit?"

A temporary worker earns a monthly salary of 13.5, plus various benefits. How could she take advantage of someone else like that?

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Chengjin suggested, "If you really feel guilty, you can buy her some delicious food every month after you get paid."

Xiao Xiulan fell into deep thought and didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Xiao Chengjin quietly closed the door and sat on the kang, eating the persimmon cakes one by one.

The persimmon cakes not only looked delicious but also tasted amazing!

Unconsciously, Xiao Chengjin finished all ten persimmon cakes.

Looking at the empty oil-paper package, Xiao Chengjin licked his lips, feeling a bit unsatisfied.

He must ask Su Ruanruan where she bought these persimmon cakes when he sees her again.

Although Su Ruanruan had become a bit stronger, she was still kind-hearted and shared such delicious persimmon cakes with him. He would definitely look out for this girl in the future!

Meanwhile, Su Ruanruan, who had been taken under the wing of Chen Apo, was helping her cut grass.

These three sheep not only needed to eat grass during the day but also at night, so in the afternoon, Chen Apo had to cut a basket of grass and bring it back to the sheep pen for their supper.

After witnessing Su Ruanruan's strength, Chen Apo didn't stop her from helping anymore.

As for why Su Ruanruan suddenly became so strong, Chen Apo didn't think too much about it.

Whether she was strong or not, Su Ruanruan was the girl she had raised since childhood, and she couldn't be mistaken!
